Transfering the registrar details of an expired domain name

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hey, I need some help transferring the ownership details/registrar settings of a domain I purchased through WordPress which has now expired.

    I purchased intandemcompetition.com through wordpress, it is now in the redemption period as I no longer need the domain name but a friend would now like to purchase it. How can I change the setting so my friend can renew the subscription?

    I’ve tried following the steps on the support page and have read the info here http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/.

    I’m still none the wiser, can someone help me!

    I have flagged this for the staff to help

    You might be able to transfer it yourself at

    Dashboard >> Store >> My Upgrades >> If there is a transfer button associated with the domain name

    Not completely sure if a domain name in Redemption can be transferred – but worth a try –

    also you or your friend will need staff help to get the name out of redemption and renew it.

  • Your domain intandemcompetition.com expired on February 23. Before it expired, we sent email warnings and displayed notifications on your dashboard.

    Domains in redemption cannot be transferred.

    Domain expiration is a lengthy and complicated process that takes about 80 days. During this time, your domain may be put up for auction or sold on back-order. You can learn more about expired domains here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

    The good news is that you can still recover your domain, as it has not yet been deleted or purchased by someone else. A late renewal fee of $80 will be added to the regular price of renewal.

    You can renew this domain and manage all your other upgrades under Store > My Upgrades in your dashboard.
